2006 New Year's Revolution WWE championship
John Cena(c) defeated Carlito, Chris Masters, Shawn Micheals, Kane and Kurt Angle to retain.
This was the 4th chamber match chronologically but #24 on my rankings.
This match was another really bad one it was on the bottom for a while and the only thing that really saved it was that I love Kurt Angle and Hbk. It was pretty boring for the first 3 entrants then when Angle entered it started to pick up he was definitely my favorite part. Hbk giving him sweet chin music and eliminating him to save Cena was really stupid but at least Angle was the only one who was actually eliminated by a finisher. The rest of the eliminations were wack and rushed. They spent the whole match trying to hype up the Carlito and Masters alliance just for Carlito to roll him up and betray him for the elimination and then get rolled up right after by Cena. Ending a match like this on two roll up pins was just a terrible idea and having them as f3 knowing damn well neither had a shot of taking the belt from Cena was lame. No one took any big risks or dives off the cage and they barely used the chamber at all in the match.
Edge cashing in the money in the bank contract for the first time to win the belt after was iconic but not really a part of the chamber match so I didn't include it in the grading.(maybe ill do mitb matches next)
Length: 28 mins. Could have been longer instead of rushing through with weak eliminations.
Best performer: Kurt Angle. He had no eliminations but really was only thing saving this match from being an F.
Best moment: Angle entering. He came into the match on fire hitting all of the other 4 with suplexes making Hbk bleed by scraping his face against the chains and then locking everyone in Angle locks. Hbk eliminating him while he was doing it to Cena was so dumb and annoying
Grade: D. like I said angle saved it from being an F or D- to put it ahead of the other two.
Plus but I disagree. Maybe I'm biased because I like both carlito and masters but it was a decent match, minus the finish. I will agree on the roll up finish being bad.
arik2745 I dont dislike them just ranked it so low because they barely used chamber in match and the eliminations were erile like kane was a total non factor entered hit a couple chokeslams and then carlito and masters just pushed him over and laid on top of him together
